Newcastle United have confirmed captain Fabricio
Coloccini will miss Saturday's match at Hull City following a family
bereavement.
The Argentine centre-half has been given permission to
return to his homeland following the news.
Newcastle revealed Coloccini's absence on Friday, posting
a short statement on their official website.
It read: "Newcastle United captain Fabricio
Coloccini will not be involved in Saturday's Barclays Premier League fixture at
Hull following a family bereavement.
"The centre-back has been allowed to return home to
Argentina to spend time with family rather than make the trip to the KC
Stadium."
Coloccini only returned from a knee injury last weekend,
making his 17th Premier League appearance of the season in a 1-0 win over Aston
Villa.
